Upon noticing the absence of Sobo and Coraline, Chacal howled, to let her family know that she, too, had not spotted them but would be touring along the beach to try and find any trace of them. It might've been easier to spot tracks on firmer, inland ground but she had a funny feeling that at least one of the two would have chosen to go for a wander along the ocean's edge.
They were her brine-siblings, and while the tides swept away footprints and scents, she had a clear view along the flawless white beach of Ankyra Sound and hoped perhaps to spot one of her siblings meandering along.
It was night-time, and there was a clear sky above her. With the moon tucked beyond the horizon, all was dark. Until-
A star, or something like it- flashing through the sky above and with each second it grew brighter until it could have been light as day
Chacal was forced to squint her eyes closed and just like that- the bolting meteor flashed from one horizon to the other.
A moment later came the shuddering [i]thud[/] of a sonic boom, which caused Chacal to crouch. She'd seen meteor showers sure- but nothing had ever seemed as close as this. The fireball that passed over her and burnt up in the atmosphere had been a first for her to witness. Harmless, but quite startling all the same.

It can be assumed that if Chacal is speaking, she will be singing. Her speaking patterns will always have a melodic quality to them.
